Well, it’s too late for me, my sock has blotches of color instead of stripes but I’m curious. How do you prevent pooling on a sock? Don’t get me wrong, I love the way my sock looks but there must be some sort of trick…

OK, I think I got the ok from Tina…but at any rate, Tan has offered up one of her mill ends to start this up and I have offered to get this thing off the ground! There are a couple of ideas running around in my mind, so I don’t really want to set too many specifics to this, yet. Of course, if someone wants to add ideas, please do so. I may just ‘let it happen’!-lol!Oh, and not only has Tan offered up her mill end, she has graciously offered to start the toe on our Rockin’ Sock Club Longest Sock Feat-or shall I say, “feet”! (har har…I’m not good at punniness, but that was my lame attempt!)So Tan will start this off and send to me. Remember Tina’s dream she wrote of in her first Dyer’s Notes of this year about the longest sock being knit by many different club members? She said each person did six rows each. In keeping with that, I would like to ask that each person knit six rows, then pass it on so that we can keep it going.I think the easiest would be to pass it on to the closest participant you can actually hand it off to before offering it up to mail out.I am also thinking about how to track/log this, but it may get to be too much. We can make the attempt anyway. Details will come as this unravels…or should I say ‘knits’ up?I’ll keep you all posted as to how this will unfold.

Left Over Sock Yarn Blankie

General Knitting Questions | February 15, 2008

Hey Knitters!

I’m working on a blankie (Hoping it’ll be his security blanket)(not sure what age children get attached to a blankie, but he’s only 13 months old) and I’m making it out of left over sock yarn. I am not repeating any yarn twice in the blankie. I’m wondering if there is anyone out there with leftover bits from socks that you have made, that you do not need anymore. If so, I blog here and you can email me at graphicdesignchick at hotmail dot com. I would really appreciate any help, as I hope to not run out of left over bits and I can only knit so many pairs of socks in one year! Oh, by the way, I do not need much, each square only uses about 5 grams!

 Thanks!
